WoodyWhat does Impérial Santal smell like?
Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards leisure and office wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters find it masculine, with some calling it classic.
It opens with grapefruit and bergamot, a fresh citrus lift. In the heart, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli build a woody, earthy footing. Musk and moss in the base soften it and keep a green tone, with a sweet, spicy trace running through.
